Those damn pop quizzes screwed me! Don't make the same mistake. Attend every single class.

a wondersul professor who is so excited to be teaching. always has a smile on her face, and is very fair.

Very rigid with her syllabus. Don't miss online quizzes!

BORING!!! ended up with a B and did no work

very caring teacher, she was even helpful after I graduated

A+ Great Teacher, unfortunately held back due to fact that the dept does not give her support. She could shine if she was not held back by the dept head of RTV.

very boring unless ur an rtv major. a lot of info about the business thats just too technical and boring. lectures r boring. do the study guides and youll do decent on the exams. pulled off a B somehow

just because she adds things that are not straight from the text, does not make her a bad teacher. Ill admit she was a little disorganized with some thing, but I enjoyed her. People need to realize they are in college and wont be spoon-fed everything

Everyone is complaining about Mills, but I thought her class was great. She doesn't do the ordinary "follow my ppoint slides" boring regurgitation of info. This is COLLEGE, read the book, do the homework...I got an A...you can too.

I can't believe people always complain about Mills. I have had her for two classes now and am scheduled for another next semester--and she's good! People say she is so hard, but she's not and she's always willing to assist people outside of class.

Only take this class if you want to become a broadcasting professional. She does not kid around, she requires a lot from her students, but she knows what she is talking about and she is trying to prepare us for the outside world. Only take her if you are serious! Excellent teacher!

This class should be reserved for RTV majors only. As a liberal studies major, I found it really hard although I ended up with a B. She is a really nice person and helpful but the tests are hard. She curved 2 of the 3 and let us retake quizzes but the class was still hard.

She is the nicest professor I have had in college. She is interesting and willing to help you if you need it. If you do the work, you will get a good grade. Try and get yourself in her class

I love this professor. She is more than helpful and every lecture is interesting. Mills absolutely LOVES news! You have to share the passion to really enjoy her class. She is big on hands-on work and tries to teach in a way everyone can understand.

She has a passion for television, and if you do too, you will love her. Don't look for an easy A, you have to listen to keep up with her. She assumes you already know a lot about television. Just a little out dated, but she tries to keep the class informed.

Wouldn't recommend it for people that don't have any background or interest in TV production. This class pretty much teaches you the basics of television (specifically news) without ever touching a piece of equipment (which sucks) cuz how ru supposed to learn nething....i learned way more in my 4 years in high school...but i got an A easily

Honestly, she is a good teacher that expects college students to work at a college level. She does not baby you and tell you every answer that will be on a test. Tests are fair. If you do what she asks on the projects you get a good grade. I enjoyed her class and I think she is very knowledgeable.

Her class was fun. Do the projects right and you get A's. Exams are hard but it is a fun class. she is a good teacher.

Class was easy. tests are easy if you just read the material and study her powerpoints. Classes are interesting. Mills knows what she's talking about and fun to listen to, but not very helpful to students outside class. Group projects are easy but a pain in the butt. Be easier if they were individual projects.

Tests are HARD and CONFUSING! Quizzes are OKay...group projects and discussions are SO easy and takes no time to do them. Class is pretty boring, lots of powerpoint slides.

I thought Found. of Story would be fun. I want it to be fun. She doesn't. She's not sure what she is doing herself. You write papers, longer papers than in any English class that I have taken. Treat this class like a 4000 level course. The quizzes will hurt you bad so depend on your Group Grades. Hopefully you'll have a good group like I did.

she's really nice and helpful. not so many notes, so you have to learn from the books. group work is easy if students do their part; tests are hard.

Kinda tough for a Freshmen level course, but the teacher does provide a lot of help if you have the willingness to go get it. Lot of Work, not much time to do it in, but some reprieve giving at points. She is not as bad as everyone says, but if you take the class, be prepared to work, I mean come on people you're in college arent you?

You learn the same thing about 10 times, but it's not her fault. She means well and tries to make the group activities fun, just hope you have a smart group and STUDY for the tests. Don't subscribe to the NY Times, just get it on campus. =)

I dont know what these people are talking about, Mills is a great teacher, really nice and fun. She didn't make us order NY Times or talk about TV shows..

BORINGGGGGGGGG. Easy A.

I took Dr. Mills's class online and found it to be the perfect level of difficulty. Not to easy yet not as time consumingly hard as my other courses. Her web page is better than that of other online teachers I've had. The books she requires aren't as boring as they seem and are quite readable. Can't say how good she is face to face, but online's A+

I took this class online and did not even purchase any of the books required and still received an A in the course. Majority of the films are interesting and the material tested on is pretty easy to go over. She is great with communication and quite helpful if you need it. Only did 1 writing paper besides the quizzes/tests. Definite recommendation!

She is very nice and helpful, and very knowledgable about the material she covers, but lectures and screenings sometimes tend towards pretty dull. The class is still good and I feel like I'm learning a lot. It is a bit harder than I expected, but it's not impossible.

Dr. Mills is cute, intelligent, and helpful - everything you want in a professor. There are people on here who just want an easy A and don't care about learning. If you don't like to THINK then maybe her class, or college in general, isn't for you. She's expanded my mind on film in so many ways. And her films are good.

Took this online. She had a great setup for the online modules and selected movies that were both entertaining and technically impressive. Very helpful and responds quickly to emails. Requirements for assignments were a literally unclear at times but basically just write complete stories with good characters. Skip the reading if you want.

Dr. Mills is a very nice professor. Her class consists of a movie, a discussion, and a quiz that's assigned on a weekly basis. It's pretty easy but if you have other work to do it's an inconvenience. I missed an assignment by a minute and mailed her if she could open it but she didn't respond. The quizzes are muted which is pretty annoying tbh.

I had Dr. Mills for online history of film during a 5-week summer term. She doesn't do much with her online classes. Assignments due Sunday, Tuesday, and Friday each week. Quizzes are super easy, but the tests are lowkey kinda hard. She offers two extra credit opportunities, which are written essays, for a possible grade increase of up to 6%.

This class was ease. I took this class summer B online and basically put 0 effort in. There is a book she wants you to get but there is also a pdf online that has everything as well. Quizzes give you 3 tries which makes them impossible to fail. Tests are 25 questions but every single answer is on the module slides. Easiest class I've ever taken.

Super nice & engaging w/ students. Online FIL2030 course included 14 module 3Q quizzes, 5 exams, and 1 extra credit opportunity. Everything taken on canvas no lockdown but open notes. Textbook would help but not necessary.

I took Professor Mill's online summer class for History of Motion Pictures. She provides a lot of great powerpoint presentations you can use to take notes and help out on the quizzes. However, there was a LOT of reading that was required, and pretty much all of the assignments are based off the readings. Enjoyable class though.

Technically Professor Mills was not my main professor for Foundations of Story, but she was present in many of the digital lectures throughout the course. At these times, she provided some very good information and walks you through parts of the book for the class. The online class was overall informative, fun, and not too difficult either.
